Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

“You got your chocolate in my peanut butter.” “You got your peanut butter on my chocolate.” If you’re of a certain age then you probably remember that old tv commercial. For years the combination of chocolate and peanut butter has been delighting many, including my husband and oldest son.

Candy isn’t the only place you’ll find this popular combination, you can also find it in cakes, cookies and brownies. If you’re a fan of the chocolate and peanut butter combo, you’re going to love this Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies recipe. Here’s how to make them.

This recipe makes 9-12 servings, depending on the size you cut the brownies.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray s 8” x 8” baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper if you like.

Place all of the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a large mixing bowl and mix, adding in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt last. Lightly fold in the flour and cocoa powder until just mixed. Take care not to over mix or the brownies will turn out cake-like.

Put the ingredients for the peanut butter brownie layer into a large bowl and mix that, again saving the flour, baking powder and salt for last and stirring until just mixed.

Spread the peanut butter brownie layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Place the chocolate brownie layer on top of the first layer.

I am mother of 2 boys – TJ, a 24 year old, and CJ, an 20 year old with Down Syndrome. I'm a Jersey girl. I HATE the misuse of the word retarded. I take it personally and find it very offensive. I love cats, my pets, driving, reading, cooking, rock music, tech, travel, Mario games, cheesecake, coffee, and cooking.

Oh my these look and sound absolutely amazing! Peanut butter and chocolate is always a winner flavour combo and these look so gooey and decadent too! Thanks for sharing the recipe, will definitely be giving these a try!

I don’t tend to bake much with peanut butter even though I love it as my fiance hates the smell of it. When things get back to normality I might make one next time he has a day away and have them all to myself x
